Key Features
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: The 24-inch No. 6 profile Bergara barrel is hammer-forged from 4140 CrMo steel, then finished in Black Cerakote. This process ensures consistent rifling geometry and extended barrel life—critical for 6.5 PRC’s high-pressure loads.
- Integrated Mini-Chassis Stock: The molded synthetic stock contains a full-length aluminum mini-chassis that locks the action in place and provides a rigid bedding surface. This eliminates point-of-impact shifts caused by stock flex or temperature changes.
- Fully Adjustable Stock: Adjustable cheekpiece and length-of-pull spacers let you dial in comb height and LOP without tools. This is essential for consistent cheek weld during long strings of fire or when shooting from prone.
- Threaded Muzzle with Knurled Protector: The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts standard muzzle brakes or suppressors. The knurled thread protector provides a secure grip for hand-tightening without tools.
- Bergara Curved Trigger: The trigger breaks clean at 3–4 lbs with minimal overtravel. It’s user-adjustable for pull weight, letting you fine-tune without a gunsmith.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for law enforcement precision marksmen, military snipers, and serious long-range shooters who need a platform that shoots as well as a custom action but costs half as much. The 6.5 PRC chambering delivers the ballistics to engage targets past 1,200 meters while retaining manageable recoil. It’s also a practical choice for hunters who shoot from fixed positions or use suppressors.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee out of the box with match ammunition.
- Pro: Full compatibility with Remington 700 triggers, stocks, and accessories.
- Pro: Cerakote finish is corrosion-resistant and holds up in field conditions.
- Con: The factory stock, while functional, lacks the stiffness of a full aluminum chassis for extreme precision work (e.g., PRS competition). Aftermarket stock swaps are straightforward but add cost.

FAQ
What scope base pattern does the Bergara B-14 HMR use?
The action is drilled and tapped to accept Remington 700-style scope bases. You can use any standard R700 two-piece or one-piece base. Per Bergara specs, the receiver is compatible with #6-48 screws.
Can I use a suppressor with this rifle?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and includes a knurled thread protector. The barrel is 24 inches long, so adding a suppressor will still keep the overall length manageable. The stock accommodates a suppressor without contacting the barrel.
What is the weight of the Bergara B-14 HMR 6.5 PRC?
Per manufacturer specs, the rifle weighs 9.5 lbs without optics. The No. 6 profile barrel adds weight forward, which helps stabilize the rifle during offhand shooting but is noticeable for carry.
Is the Bergara B-14 HMR compatible with aftermarket triggers?
Yes. The action uses a Remington 700 footprint, so any trigger designed for R700 (including Timney, TriggerTech, and Geissele) will fit. The factory Bergara curved trigger is user-adjustable, but you can swap it out easily.
What is the effective range of 6.5 PRC in this barrel length?
With a 24-inch barrel, 6.5 PRC achieves 2,950–3,050 fps with 143-grain ELD-X factory loads. This yields supersonic performance past 1,500 yards. The Bergara B-14 HMR is capable of sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with match ammunition.
